Body Of Man Swept To His Death In Madison Recovered

A rescuer says a 70-year-old man was pulled away by flood waters and drowned during Monday’s torrential rains.  That man’s body was recovered Tuesday and his name hasn’t been released.  Emergency officials in Middleton were still rescuing people trapped in buildings overnight by the high water.  The National Weather Service reports rain was falling at two-to-four inches-an-hour at the storm’s peak.  Middleton recorded 11-point-63 inches of rain — less than a tenth-of-an-inch off the state’s all-time record rainfall for a 24-hour period.  An unofficial measurement found more than 15 inches of rain fell in nearby Cross Plains.
